Mikel Arteta: Managerial Royalty

[lufere7]

Sack worthy tactics tonight, we still have a very clear path to the final, hopefully Tierney and Laca are back so the team picks itself and then players can just do their thing. We are way superior individually, not getting to the final should be the end of Mikel, even though it won't.

 

[Rex Stone]

He wants to be Pep so much that he forgets that he doesn’t have a 2 billion pound squad in his hands where players can get results on their own regardless of the idiocy of the management

He’s never played without a striker before and ESR has never played up there.

Now wasn’t the time for experimenting ffs. Stick with what you know.

 

[ArtetaOut]

Unai shouldn't have sat back at 2-0 up 11 vs 10. Now we might be stuck with Cone Boy fml. He'd better not screw up again in the second leg

 

[al-Ustaadh]

They need to be hounded out of the club. I’m sick of these owners buying historic football clubs and not taking an interest in them.

The game is done.

They wont be. Never will be. The types where such protests will make them dig in deeper. Wont go unless the profit margins go tits up. Good luck with that. All the while they'll lie through their teeth and be as two-faced in ways you can't even imagine.

 

[Macho]

We are most likely through as long as the forwards keep trying, but yeah Arteta is a complete fraud man.

Tonight was embarrassing, but we're somehow still on course to make it next round.

 

[El Duderino]

away on a semi-final playing with 10 men for most of the game
I not defending him, but that tweet is a **** move

it wasn't really, look at the context of it being an Unai Emery team, Don.

And that we chose to play with no focal point in attack.

It was a **** show and we're lucky to be still in it.

Can only pray for us to turn up twice now, return leg and the final.

 

[Hunta]

That was really shocking when the lineups came up.

 

[Tree Points]

Moyes took over a successful club. Arteta has only been here 1 year and actually won something and could still get us CL.

It’s more crazy you guys have stuck with Ole.

What absolute nonsense. The FA Cup win means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Arteta is up there with Arry Redknapp and Roberto Martinez for fluking a cup in recent history.

You measure how a manager is doing by league position.

 

[Rex Stone]

Also should AM manage the team? We all saw the red card coming but not cone boy. Mental.

 

[yorch44]

He’s never played without a striker before and ESR has never played up there.

Now wasn’t the time for experimenting ffs. Stick with what you know.

He wants to be called the genius who outplayed Emery tactically with this surprising lineup. Guess what?!

 

[Riou]

We are most likely through as long as the forwards keep trying, but yeah Arteta is a complete fraud man.

 

[Hunta]

Also should AM manage the team? We all saw the red card coming but not cone boy. Mental.

That was insane. 23 assistants sat there and they all let him run out in the second half.

Mourinho would have subbed him after 20 mins, he was trying to showboat ffs.

We get it, you don't rate FA Cup, but stop saying this all the time ffs

 

[GDeep™]

Even if you go along with that, don’t you hire a young manager to give him more than one full season?

 

[Rex Stone]

Mourinho would have subbed him after 20 mins, he was trying to showboat ffs.

Ok tell him to calm down second half like a lot of managers would fair enough.

His head was clearly gone when he came back out so after ten minutes take him off but no he still leaves him on.

 

[Hunta]

United haven’t won anything since Mourinho. Tree beard is on his knees for the flid cup whilst his city rivals are gonna win big ears.

 

[mpower2540]

He's not getting enough credit for the 2nd half. Turned it around.,

He should’ve changed it at HT, didn’t. Got a warning when Ceballos should’ve had a second yellow right at the start of the 2nd half, still didn’t bring him off and of course he’s sent off a few minutes later.

Meanwhile the other ***** in the opposite dugout decides to bring off a striker for Coquelin when they could’ve put us to bed. The only reason the 2nd half was somewhat better was because Emery called off the dogs and decided to protect the 2-0. We score a penalty (incredibly soft) and then Capoue the absolute ****wit gets himself sent off.

What’s our reaction at 10 vs 10?? To start to pop the ball around in front of our own box and surrender possession. He didn’t turn it around at all, we had TWO shots on target in the match, the penalty and Auba’s late chance. At no point did we have them under any sustained pressure, our press, as usual, was ****e, our build up, as usual, was ****e. I don’t thik I’ve seen a lower quality semi final in European competition. We should have been dispatched and it’s complete luck why we’re still in with a shout.

Me not living in England... I don't really rate the FA cup... It's like meeeeeeh. What I rate is CL and the league. That's what gives you a name in the international sphere.

People around the world give a shiiit about FA cup or Copa del Rey

 

[AberGooner]

Also should AM manage the team? We all saw the red card coming but not cone boy. Mental.

We also all knew having no LB would cost us tonight and it did for the first goal. We all knew crossing into the box with no striker wouldn't work either and we ended up with 1 shot on target not including the pen. I really don't know why everything has to be overcomplicated every game.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Players jobs are to follow the coaches instructions.

Managers jobs are to win football matches.

Now if players are not doing their jobs they should be dropped. Remember ACCOUNTABILITY.

Tell me. What did Mikel Arteta your hero do well tonight?

Starting line up good?
Subs good?
Keeping Ceballos on when everyone knew and said get him off he's a walking red card?

You can't defend the indefensible. I support Arsenal football club. Not Arteta football club. If you want the best for the club you would accept that he isn't producing the best for the club.

If you want the best for your ego then keep banging the Arteta drum.

I just said to you Arteta was at fault. What the **** is wrong with you? Absolute tool.

Only person beating a drum is you, your own drum. Clearly can't ****ing read what I am saying.
